I just lost a post full of eleventyhundred links and photos that I had worked on for over TWO FREAKING HOURS.
I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!
Why stop there, right??
Let’s make a list!
Other things I hate/loathe/cannot stand:
- Papaya
- Black licorice (This includes all things related like Anise)
- Long, dirty fingernails on little boys
- Little kids with perpetual snotty noses and dirty faces
- Gritty spinach/lettuce
- My period
- Overly sour flavors
- People who leave the turn signal on
- Granny panties
- Warm, bendy pickles
- Tepid beverages
- Sandwiches that are too “Wet” with mayo or mustard
- People who wear too much perfume/cologne. Especially if it sucks
- People who constantly clear the phlegm out of their throats or sniff excessively
- Mean people
- People who act smug, superior, holier-than-thou
- Fruit that looks ripe and sweet and isn’t
- DOS
- Yeast infections
- Artificial cherry flavoring
- Cough Syrup
- Honeydew
- The taste of alcohol
- Camel toe
- Spiders
- The book, Little Children
- The movie, Seven
- Any design Hildy has ever done on Trading Spaces
- South Pacific
- Anime
- Being too hot or too cold
- Ingrown toenails
Oh, I could go on and on, but should probably stop and take a few deep, cleansing breaths.
Whew.
That helped to write.
Do you dislike anything on my list? Do you have your own list?


Filed under:



You hate honeydew? That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard! Wow…
About Hildy – wasn’t it Hildy that did that hideous bathroom wallpapered with dress patterns? Freaky… And remember the living room (I think) where she painted a giant picture of her own face with black dots on a white wall? Hello! Did she not remember that she was in SOMEONE ELSE’S HOUSE??? And wasn’t she also the one that actually thought you could paint a couch a new color and still have it comfortable to sit on? Oh, but wait, no one had to because she left it outside to dry overnight…IN SEATTLE! Oh my.
Wow, that was a little bit of a rant, wasn’t it? It felt pretty good. I think I’ll go on over to my own blog and rant about other things! Bye! :)
Anise? What has it ever done to you. I’ll never look at you the same again.
For me it’s artifical orange flavoring.
Otherwise it’s pretty spot on, except for the fruit-hatred.
Gretchen’s last blog post..Product Review and Other Nonsense
I HATED the book Little Children with a passion like no other. I bought it in hardback as it was written by the guy who wrote Election and was being praised left and right. I finished the book because I hoped that there would be something good that these people would redeem themselves. It was a horrid book about horrid people. When I was reading it I would stop every so often for a break and go complain to Matty about it. I still have it and plan on burning it as I don’t really see how anyone is going to benefit by reading it. I have seen the movie Cool as Ice and still took more from it than I did from this book.(Lose the zero and get with the hero) It make me LIVID!
Oh, I also hate hidden coconut because it gets stuck in my teeth. If it is obvious it is something with coconut I can avoid it but the hidden stuff you can’t. It usually pops up when I forgot to bring dental floss and then drives me crazy because it is stuck between my teeth.
DOS? as in disk operating system? Oh come on, it was so simple…
I’m trying to get better with Linux’s CLI (command line interface) currently…and that sucks…but I like it…lol
Anime? What?!?! I will admit so is not as good as others but there’s some great stories out there and great animation.
My list of hates would be too long to even bother with…hahahaha
Jonathan Merchant’s last blog post..Barcodes and nerd humor
There’s a guy at my office who is constantly clearing the phlegm from his throat. He is so loud and obnoxious about it and then he says that “There must be something wrong/an allergic reaction/a cold”. HE SMOKES! That is why he has phlegm. But apparently he doesn’t realize such things.
Also, I’m going to pretend that you didn’t say that you don’t like alcohol. For the sake of our friendship.
Heather B.’s last blog post..In praise of breathing
AHHHHHH HILDY!! The fake flowers in the gilded bathroom—I would faint dead away if she did that in my house. And I’ll bet she likes honeydew and bendy pickles, too!
The Over-Thinker’s last blog post..The Ghosts of April Fools Past
Yes. I hate your period, too.
lceel’s last blog post..She bore a land
Did you see the movie, Little Children? It just … um … disturbed me. I had to take a few showers after that one. Never read the book, though.
She Likes Purple’s last blog post..The Small Horse
Camel Toe!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Cough….. phlegm………)
I have visions of that certain cowboy guy in Chamber Singers with perpetual C.T!!! Uuuuuggghhh!!!! Thanks for the image!
Erin Evans Taylor’s last blog post..There’s Not enough room in this head for the both of us….
add to your list:
people who use other people (in a mean bad way)
people who consent to being used (see above)
the college loan people
people who make fun of other people
snakes
buttermilk
Pink’s last blog post..pink’s pictures
I didn’t know how many things I hated untill I read your blog!! I hate almost everything you said ! Then started on my own list. All this time I thought I only hated cold things! Been lurking on your blog for a while- you are on my favorite.
I HATE periods, Y.I. and C.T…theme?
Pants’s last blog post..That’s why I’m Easy
With a few notable exceptions, I pretty much entirely agree with your whole list. I think we will get along famously. :)
Does your wordpress not autosave your drafts?
Marilyn’s last blog post..All out of pith and wit
dear god, i love this post. i’ve just been sitting here, nodding away in agreement….although yeast infections? totally love those. bwahahaha (that was sarcasm, in case any of your readers are, well, challenged)
ali’s last blog post..a whole bunch of unrelated things. it’s how i’m rolling today.
Mean people and holier than thous tick me off too.
witchypoo’s last blog post..The White Screen of Nothingness
I loathe black licorice and granny panties too.
And windy days. I hate the wind.
Jill – GlossyVeneer’s last blog post..4 Things: Today is Good
I hate black licorice!
Here are a few others:
-Finding a hair in my food
-Melon that is not ripe but served to me anyhow at a restaurant
-Putting my clothes away
-Public spitting
-Lipton Tea
Sizzle’s last blog post..Pull My Finger
No camel toe? We may not be able to be friends.
Kimberly’s last blog post..Where To?
for the most part I agree with many of your hates….although I do love warm bendy pickles….gross but I do.
ellinghouse’s last blog post..Healthy Child, Healthy World – book review
I hate pretty much all those things, too, except honeydew. And, wow, I’d blocked out a lot of those things Hildy did. Ugh!
hairyshoefairy’s last blog post..Poor Mom
I can agree with pretty much your entire list except South Pacific. What the crap? It actually has deeper themes than the other R & H musicals.
I hate cantaloupe
gum
mixed candy
foil
mouth noises
my roommate’s morning routine
people who eat my food
Rachel (Louisiana)’s last blog post..Well this just takes the cake…
I remember Hildy was once doing a dining room for a couple who expressly stated they did not like modern decor. She painted the walls black (black!) and the dining table and chairs banana yellow. It was retched.
I deal with my hatred of periods by taking several birth control packs in a row so I only have a period once every 3 months. In a way it’s better, but then when I do have one, I whine about it even more now.
Your list is fantastic. Boo to Hildy! You are right on. Other things right on: ingrown toenails, yeast infections, licorice…actually I agree with all of them except Honeydew. That I love. Cantaloupe though can suck it.
SparklieSunShine’s last blog post..I Don’t Even Know
Ha ha ha. I hate everything on your list (with the exception of alcohol, Seven and Little Children – can we still be friends?)
Oh, and I like black licorice, but only the salty kind (it’s a Dutch thing.)
On my list this week are:
-Baby socks that you can never, ever find the match for
-Whining children
-Men who enjoy excessive napping
-Reality TV
-My belly
-My need to eat excessive amounts of sugar (see previous bullet)
I could go on and on, but I fear this comment is long enough already. Thanks for this – it was very therapeutic.
andi’s last blog post..Welcome to parenthood?
I knew that the alcohol thing would make people go “WTF?” but it’s true. I don’t like the taste of alcohol. I am a pathetic drinker, I’m afraid. TOTAL lightweight. It’s the actual alcohol-fumy thing that I don’t like. I love cooking with the stuff (Because that burns off and leaves the taste). And if it’s a mixed drink where I can’t taste it, that is ok, too.
It’s why I shudder at cough syrup.
I’m not sure why I don’t like Honeydew. I used to hate watermelon, but I like it now.
And? I’ve added:
EXCREMENT (In all forms, including humor)
Moldy showers
Having a stupid WHEEL to adjust my seat in my car instead of a lever.
People who expose arms that should NEVER BE SEEN in a cami or sleeveless outfit.
My cankles
Cinnamon flavored candies: Gum, cinnamon bears, etc.
Fruit filled chocolates (Especially cherry cordials)
maraschino cherries
Razor burn
Fevers
VW’s are notorious for the wheeled seat recliner…everyone i’ve ever owned was that way and i can’t stand it…
i don’t own vw’s anymore and have a perma-ban on them (well except for anything pre 92) in my house…
cherry cordials are my most favorite, i love fruit/nut cadburry chocolates…lol
i hate bad tasting carrots…
Jonathan Merchant’s last blog post..Barcodes and nerd humor
Great post!
I’m in agreement with you on pretty much everything. Good list!
Sharon’s last blog post..Help with posting photos needed!
I played Liat in South Pacific MANY years ago. I had to make out with the nastiest guy and dance around to Happy Talk. ACK!!!!! :)
180/360’s last blog post..Page Boy
Amen to 90% of your list. Might I add,
Chewed fingernails
Loud people at restaurants or movies
Spandex
Baby boy clothes covered in cars/footballs/dinosaurs/tools/etc.
Ugly toes
Dirty restrooms
Restrooms without changing tables
Over-enthusiastic hair stylists (bad haircuts)
Over the top kid birthday parties
The greasy feel of sunscreen
Carmex
I could certainly go on, but hey, this is your blog, not mine!
Yes, but how do you feel about blog stalkers? (please don’t add me to your list)
That list is freakin’ awesome. I think you about covered it.
I’ve been meaning to tell you that I was so sorry to hear about your friend’s illness (I’ve been having trouble commenting on here lately – they get eaten up!) That feeling of helplessness just sucks. I hope things turn out OK.
rima’s last blog post..Everybody’s Got a Voracious Ticker
My comments have been really low lately and I have heard from a lot of people that things keep getting eaten.
FREAK.
I will try to figure out what is happening.
If I had lost a post I would have gone, um, postal.
I hate when I leave comment and they disappear! So hear I am, trying again :)
Angella’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday: The Tankini Edition
Um, “here” I am. Duh.
Angella’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday: The Tankini Edition
Oh yeah, I’m with you on most of those things. Any melon…it looks so pretty, but I just can’t stand to have it in my mouth. Blech.
mamalang’s last blog post..April Fools
My “favorite” of Hildy’s was when she glued dried hay/grass to the walls of a home with small children — what a twit!
Hi I wandered over here from Melain’s blog and I am very glad to find someone else who hates honeydew. I think it’s completely gross.
And I hate snotty faced kids. It is NOT HARD to carry around kleenexes when your kid has a cold.
However. I love black licorice.
Anth’s last blog post..Weekend Recap
I gotta defend the snotty nose kids…well mine at least, if their some one else’s then it’s a no like situation…lol
I have to mention timed bathroom lighting (it only dawned on me today how much I hate them because I got trapped in one…stupid time limits on pooping!!!)
Jonathan Merchant’s last blog post..My technical blog – in beta form (finally)
My list grows…
people who burp without saying excuse me
people who don’t say “bless you” when you sneeze.
Anything having to do with “Booger” on Revenge of the Nerds
Potty Humor, or any discussion of potty behavior at all
People who tell you their newborn slept through the night at 2 weeks or two months or anything short of a year
women who brag about how little they gained during their pregnancy
women who fit into their pre-pregnancy clothes coming home from the hospital (and have the nerve to tell you about it)
smelly kitchen towels that aren’t washed after each use
Bathroom towels that have no fluff left in them
Ugly wedding bouquets that have a long dangly piece that hangs down a foot longer than the rest of the bouquet
People who like to call themselves Divas
Gold capped teeth
Fake tans that look fake
Makeup rubbing on shirt collars
Dirty cars and car-seats
Airplane blankets (why do they snag every single hangnail?)
And of course, wooden spoons, wooden handled steak knives, and any other form of raw wood–I get shivers just thinking about them!
I know, I know, my comments runneth over, but seriously, this post has me thinking about all the things that I really think suck, and I just can’t contain my enthusiasm in sharing them with you.
Sorry.
Black licorice is horrible. And my MIL has some anise “perfume” or something that she dabs on. Oh. It. Is. Horrible! Yuk yuk yuk. I don’t know what that’s all about.
I smiled at a lot of these.. you’ve made a pretty good list. I’ll have to make my own, I’m in a hate-y mood today.
One thing I do not hate: Coke VaniLLa zero. Yum.
Elizabeth’s last blog post..Looking for a home
Can I get a AMEN!
I think there are only like two things on either of your lists that I don’t have strong negetive feelings toward! One being the movie Seven (It was icky, but well done) and I just can’t get myself to feel upset about your cankles. Though you have my sympathies.
Sorry about your 2 hour loss of time. That’s a real batch.
Melain’s last blog post..A Deep Breath of ME
I hate hate hate! black licorice. Seriously. GROSS, amen.
(And tepid beverages, ug.)
Kerri Anne’s last blog post..Fighting Twitter Abstinence?
The Warm, Bendy Pickles would be an awesome name for a rock band. I’m just saying.
(I *love* black licorice. Can we still be friends, please?)
metalia’s last blog post..This is Only a Test
I hate 2-16, 19,22-24 and the last one
Holly’s last blog post..By: Lechelle
I have been thinking about this one for a few days.
Mean people, mean children, my FIL, Ogden, vomit, movies with zombies in them, when socks go missing, weeds, mud, burnt food, sour candy, Gin, fireworks, my fat roll, streaks in glass, Ogden, airport security, Dr Colvin’s nurse, NASA.
That should about cover it for now.
How about a list of things you LOVE!!!
Connie’s last blog post..The One About Easter!
i’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that “yeast infections” is listed NO WHERE on ANY list of “things that i love”
ever.
Do you mean the taste of alcohol as in rubbing alcohol? Because if you mean drinking alcohol, I may faint.
Queen of Shake Shake’s last blog post..And Then the Change Came and Got It Over With
No black licorice? Yum.
I’m with you on DOS (I FINALLY switched my Mother-in-law and the shope out of it last JULY– the year 2007) It’s archaic and stupid.
AMomTwoBoys’s last blog post..Oh, The Stories She Tells
This list is genius and I pretty much agree with everything. I always flip the channel when Hildy is on Trading Spaces because I can’t watch the chaos that she will inflict on unsuspecting people’s houses (well, they aren’t exactly unsuspecting, but ya know…)
HRH’s last blog post..Open oven, Insert Holly’s head…
Hi, I’m Jennifer and I’m late to the party as always. Hope you’re enjoying your break.
So. I hate ALOT of what is on your list. To add to your list, I hate Nascar t-shirts, most of my husband’s favorite TV shows, the band AC/DC, the band Rush, poor customer service…
I’ll take my deep cleansing breath right now.
